📌 Having Issues with the Save Not Appearing? Read This First! If your save isn't appearing, try this method:
0️⃣ Check Your Save Location First Before doing anything, make sure you're installing the save in the correct folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\SaveGames *You can paste this path into File Explorer and press Enter to quickly access it.* *Though it might be in a slightly different location.
AppData still usually is the correct path even if the game isn't installed on the C: drive.
Do NOT install it in: Steam\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\Saved\SaveGames
— I’m not sure why this path exists, but it may be for Linux or other non-Windows operating systems running under Proton (as mentioned in a reply by @benwhite1987).

If you're a Linux user running under the Proton compatability layer, the saves are actually in the compatability layer, not in the application data folder as you might think. It took me a while to realize that changes to my application data folder were having zero effect to the game. To find the actual save files that Ready or Not uses under Linux, you have to go to your steam library and enter the compatdata folder for application number 1144200, which is Ready or Not. From there, you'll see a folder named drive_c which you should then follow the Windows instructions to find the appropriate file (under the user steamuser) and it'll work.
Steam Play (Linux): <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1144200/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ReadyOrNot/Saved/SaveGames/
For me, VOID wiped my progress with the last update just to be able to open the game and of course my "backups' weren't real backups because I didn't realize they were in the wrong spot. So thanks @KingKTG for giving me back customizations it took me several months to get playing with my friends around a full-time job and family.
It doesn't work anymore. I did everything in the readme.txt file, followed the video as well but there are no commander mode saves showing up. Cloud is off as well but it still makes the file
It absolutely works! Follow the instructions in the README file, and you'll be good to go. I did the process yesterday (July 7 2025), and it works flawlessly! All 33 achievements popped too.
The save file works great. Not sure why the guy below me is having trouble. All you're really doing is copying and pasting the all the contents in the save game folder, and you're done. Just turn off steam cloud before copying and pasting because that's what I did.
only thing, i use mods and every one of them is working just fine. Except the "Colt Canada - BCM AR15" from HaveDonught. The Gun itself are there, but none of the scopes seems to be working. have you encountered anything like this before? and/or, do you know how to fix ?
Either it was just exiting the game and start it up again, or it was because i re-installed the "fix invalid attachment" mod.
but everything seems to be working just fine. I just copy-pasted your save-files directly into my "desktop/'username'/appdata/local/readyornot/saved/savegames" folder :) playing with steam and i have NOT deactivated my "Steam cloud-saves"
Question though, that i can't seem to find the answer to anywhere 😁
wich one of them is the "preset's" ?
I ask cause i frequently end up saving to many presets for both Loadouts and cosmetics. and when i delete them and make new ones, they don't line up in order. so i'd like to be able to just delete presets and starts all over 😁🫶🤩🤟
Presets are stored in: 📂\SavedGames MetaGameProfile.sav
This file also stores your unlocked cosmetics and achievements. Deleting it will reset your presets and (usually) relock cosmetics, so be sure before wiping it. 👍
If you just want to delete presets without losing cosmetics, you can try manually editing the save file in a hex editor like Notepad++ (backup first!).
1️⃣ Open MetaGameProfile.sav 2️⃣ Find the line "NULNULNULSavedLoadoutNULNUL" 3️⃣ Delete that line and everything below it 4️⃣ Save file and launch the game
you are right, Metagameprofile is also unlocks, but i found out that i could just use the metagameprofile that comes with your '100 save file' folder. resets my presets but keeps me the unlocks.
I disabled steamcloud, cleared out mod data and game data, booted, installed the files, and... nothing! Even went over to the video, copied every single step, still didn't work. I don't know if the mods not working or what. But it kinda sucks it doesn't work. Oh, and to add ontop of this, my backup files are not working. And due to the many others saying this does not work, it seems like this is a troll in all honesty.
I understand the frustration, but I’m not sure how I could be ‘trolling’ to the point where even your own backup saves aren’t working. If that’s happening, it might be an issue on your end.
